Looking down.
I'm guessing the entire purpose is to look at things from a different perspective. There really aren't any tall buildings or bridges I can look off off to try to do a photo, so I have to come up with something different. Thought about going out to some nearby cliffs, but the thought of hiking out in the near 110 degree heat nixed that idea. So I started thinking of other things to do, such as looking down an ant hole, down through the hole in the patio table, or down from the tree. The last sounded the most appealing, so I climbed up into the mesquite tree in our yard with my camera (Canon EOS Rebel T2i). Now, keep in mind I have not really done much tree climbing in nearly 20 years. Anyway, I got into the tree and started looking at things. Tried shot of the chair (yes I admit I put a chair near the tree, more to help me get down than up) from above to get a bird's eye veiw of the chair and the bird droppings. Was not impressed with that. Then thought about the tree. The vast majority of photos you see of a tree are from the side, or even looking up. Why not a photo looking down? So I wedged myself into something of a three point stance within the tree and took a photo down through the center of this multitrunk mesquite tree.
